I condemn, in the strongest possible terms, the terrorist attacks today
at the Likud Party polling place in northern Israel and the Paradise
Hotel in Mombasa Kenya, as well as the attempted attack on a civilian
airliner shortly after it took off from Mombasa's international
airport. I want to extend my condolences to the victims and their
families, and to the governments and peoples of Israel and Kenya.
Today's attacks underscore the continuing willingness of those opposed
to peace to commit horrible crimes. Those who seek peace must do
everything in their power to dismantle the infrastructure of terror
that makes such actions possible. The United States remains firmly
committed, with its partners around the world, to the fight against
terror and those who commit these heinous acts.
